are shipped loose. The instrument can be set up as a benchtop
device and placed into operation. Unimpaired ventilation of the
instrument must be assured during setup.
2.3.3 Installation to a 19'' Device Cabinet
The SYSKON KONSTANTER housing allows for use as a benchtop instrument, as well as for installation to a 19'' rack.
The benchtop instrument can be quickly converted to a rack
mount device:
1. Unscrew the handles at the front.
2. Pull out the filler strips at the sides and replace them with the
included rack-mount fastening tabs.
3. Replace the front handles (if you prefer to leave the handles
off, turn M4 screws with a maximum length of 8 mm into the
threaded holes).
4. Unscrew the feet from the bottom of the housing.
5. Save all loose parts for possible future use.
Attention!
!
The instrument must be attached at both sides to guide
rails inside the device cabinet. The guide rails, as well as
the front panel mounting screws, are cabinet-specific
and must be procured from your rack supplier.
2.3.4 Connection to the Mains
Warning!
Protective Grounding, PE Connection
The KONSTANTER may only be placed into operation
after the protective conductor has been connected.
Interruption or disconnection of the protective conductor
may result in
danger for the user.
The device is connected to the mains by means of a 3
conductor cable with mains plug.
Attention!
!
Before switching the SYSKON KONSTANTER on, it must
be assured that available mains power complies with the
supply power values specified at the mains connection
on the back of the device.
SYSKON P500/P800/P1500: The device can be operated with either
115 or 230 V mains power. Full output power (1500 W) can be
taken advantage of when operated with 230 V mains power. Due
to resulting input current, only 750 W of output power can be
supplied when operated with 115 V mains power.
SYSKON P3000/P4500: In order to exploit the full nominal power, the
device must be operated with a 400 Volt 3-phase current system.
Integrated monitoring circuits detect mains power and limit output
power in the event of overloading.
The instrument is connected to a mains outlet with earthing contact via the mains inlet connector [18] at the rear panel with the
help of the included power cable (only included with the SYSKON
P500/P800/P1500).
2.3.5 Connecting Power Consumers
The output leads are connected to the output terminal blocks [14]
at the rear panel by means of ring-type cable lugs with the
included screws. (SYSKON P500/P800/P1500: M6 x 10, SYSKON
P3000/P4500: M8 x 12 and M6 x 10). In addition to this, 4 mm
holes are also provided which are intended for the connection of
any utilized measurement cables.
Connection:
Remove the safety cap.
Connect the output leads to the terminal blocks with the
provided screws and washers.
An adequate wire cross-section and correct polarity must be
assured. It is advisable to twist the output leads and to identify
polarity at both ends.
Avoid exerting excessive force at the terminals.
Align the leads to the openings in the safety cap.
Snap the safety cap back into place.
In order to be able to take advantage of highly constant output
voltage at the consumer even if long leads are used, sensing
leads can be used to compensate for voltage drops within the
output leads (see chapter 7).
The terminals for the sensing leads are located on the analog
interface.
2.3.6 Connection to Computer Interfaces
Three interfaces are available on the instrument for computercontrolled operation.
The device is furnished with a USB port and an RS 232 interface
as standard equipment.
A GPIB interface can be ordered as an optional module and
installed as described. Installation at a later point in time is also
possible.
The instrument cannot be remote controlled via more than one
interface at a time. It is thus advisable to connect the desired
interface only.
In order to avoid communications problems with the interfaces,
only one interface should be connected to the computer.
Problems may otherwise occur.
In order to assure that existing bus activity is not interfered with,
all affected devices should be switched off while establishing the
bus connection.
All of the interfaces have a common reference point (GND) which is
connected to PE, and are isolated from the output in accordance with the
specified electrical safety regulations.

cables. The individual signals are described under “Analog Interface”.
2.4 Switching the Device On
After the described preparations have been completed, the
device can be switched on. The mains switch is located at the
bottom left-hand side of the front panel.
Start-Up Routine
After switching the device on, the POWER lamp [4] lights up and
the fan is started. The microprocessor included in the device then
starts a power-up test. The following operations are performed
during the test routine (duration approximately 6 seconds):
• Reset all functional units (except battery-backed configuration
memory)
• LED and display segment test
• Hardware/firmware version display, see chapter 2.4.1
• Line voltage range is detected, see chapter 2.4.2
• Initialization of the 2 (possibly 3) computer interfaces; if the
device has been equipped with the optional “IEEE 488
interface”, the selected IEC bus device address then appears
briefly at the display (example: “Addr 12”).
See chapter 6 main menu level SETUP DISPLAY & INTERFACE for
changing the device address.
• Date display (internal clock)
• Time display (internal clock)
• Recall last settings if applicable
• Switch to (default after “*RST”) display of measured values for
voltage (Uout) and current (Iout)
After initial power-up, the device is set to its basic default
configuration (see the table entitled “Adjustable Functions and
Parameters” in chapter 10.1).
Upon shipment from the factory, the device is configured such
that the setpoints for output voltage and current are set to zero,
and the power output is set to off.
For further use, status after power on depends upon the selected
device configuration.
This configuration is selected either manually with the help of
the corresponding menu item, or by means of the POWER_ON
command.
Attention!
!
Avoid switching the device on and off in a rapid,
repeated fashion. This temporarily impairs the
effectiveness of the inrush current limiting function,
and may result in a blown fuse.

2.4.1 Table of Firmware Versions
2.4.2 Response after Power ON with Varying Line Voltage
Ranges (230 V 115 V)
Up to and including Firmware Version 004
After „Power ON“, a distinction is made - on the basis of the line
voltage detected - between the two available power ranges.
When the line voltage is „low“, output power Pnom is reduced by
half (see chapter 4.1).
The specified value „PSET < Pnom“ (and/or „PSET < Pnenn/2“ in
the case of power derating), in turn, is the setting criterion for the
function „Power control“. After an automatic change of Pnom it
may be necessary to correct the PSET value for power control!
Power ON & Setting „Power_ON RST / SBY / RCL / ...“:
• „RST“ Pnom is always readjusted in accordance
with the detected line voltage.
• „SBY“, „RCL“ A low line voltage always leads to a reduced
Pnom value. If the device is subsequently
switched on to a „high“ line voltage, the low
Pnom value remains active until either:
– a „RESET“ is performed (!)
or
– „Power“ is reconnected with parameter
setting
„POWER_ON RST“
.
Changes between the line voltage ranges result in system messsages, see Err AC-L and Err AC-H in chapter 11.
As from Firmware-Version 005
After „Power ON“, a distinction is made - on the basis of the line
voltage detected - between the two available power ranges.
When the line voltage is „low“, output power is limited to approximately 55 % of the nominal power.
If the device is switched on in setting „POWER_ON RST“ at „low“
line voltage, the setting limit value is reduced to half the nominal
power for parameter PSET.
The specified value „PSET < Pnom“ (and/or „PSET < Pnenn/2“ in
the case of power derating), in turn, is the setting criterion for the
function „Power control“.
Power ON & Setting „Power_ON RST / SBY / RCL / ...“:
• „RST“ Pnom is always readjusted in accordance
with the detected line voltage.
• „SBY“, „RCL“ A low line voltage always leads to a reduced
maximum output power. The setting limit
values for parameter PSET, however, remain
unchanged until either:
– a memory recall of a corresponding device
setting is performed
or
– „Power“ is reconnected with parameter
setting
„POWER_ON RST“
.
Changes between the line voltage ranges result in system messsages, see Err AC-L and Err AC-H in chapter 11.

3 Technical Description
Description
SYSKON KONSTANTERs (power factor control, single-output
system power supplies) are manual and remote controllable DC
power supplies for laboratory and system use. Thanks to modern
switching controller technology, the devices are compact and
lightweight despite high output power.
Active power factor control assures nearly sinusoidal mains input
current.
The floating output features “safety separation” from the mains
input as well as from the computer interfaces, and is classified as
a safety extra-low voltage circuit (SELV) in accordance with VDE /
IEC. Wide ranging nominal output power values are available from
output voltage and output current.
The power output is voltage and current controlled with limiting to
maximum withdrawable power.
Transition to the control modes is automatic in accordance with
the selected setpoints and load circumstances.
The control loops are designed for short response times.
An automatically activated, dynamic sink (can be disabled)
provides for quick discharging of the output capacitors.
Numerous protective functions and monitoring devices allow for
ideal adaptation to actual conditions of use.
Features
The devices are generally equipped with a control panel and
display, as well as an analog interface.
One USB port and one RS 232 interface are provided as standard
equipment for integration into computer controlled systems. The
drivers for the USB port are provided as accessories on the
included CD ROM.
An IEEE 488 interface can be additionally installed to the device
from the outside ,or retrofitted as an option.
Manual adjustment of voltage and current is accomplished by
means of two rotary encoders with selectable resolution, or with
the numeric keypad. Numerous additional functions can be
accessed via keys.
Two 5-place digital LED displays read out measured values and
settings. LEDs indicate the current operating mode, selected display parameters and the status of device and interface functions.
The analog interface makes it possible to adjust output voltage
and current with the help of external control voltages. Monitor
outputs read out an analog image of the voltage and current
output quantities for further processing or additional displays.
These control inputs and monitor outputs can also be used to
couple several devices for master-slave operation with parallel or
series connection.
Two floating trigger inputs are available for controlling certain
device functions. For example, they can be used to switch the
output on and off, or to control sequences.
Furthermore, three signal outputs are included at the analog interface, two of which are floating. These can be activated depending
upon various functions, and can thus be used to control external
devices or sequences.
Applications Range
Konstanters are suitable for use wherever electronic modules with
controlled direct voltage or controlled current need to be supplied
with electrical power, especially in the fields of R&D, testing,
production, test systems and training.
Thanks to their characteristic U-I-P curve, the devices have a
broad working range, making it possible to cover a large range of
applications with a single device.
Due to their short response times, SYSKON KONSTANTERs can
be used for replication and simulation of onboard electrical systems, for example in automotive applications. Test signals specified in the corresponding standards can be generated. The fact
that these voltage-current-time profiles can be saved to memory
at the Konstanter for running independent sequences is highly
advantageous. When used in test systems, it is thus possible to
significantly reduce workload for the control computer. Further
functions for test applications of this sort include the Min-Max
function for acquiring extreme values and the tolerance band
function which generates a signal when measured values do not
lie within the specified tolerance limits.
The Konstanter thus serves as an autonomous test system for
many applications.

In the event of mains failure, it’s important to specify which
operating state the device will assume when power is restored.
This may be extremely important if the device is used in long-term
testing applications.
One of the following states can be selected:
– Reset = default setting (0 V, 0 A, output deactivated)
– Standby= last used configuration but with deactivated output
– Recall =
last used configuration – same as when the instrument
was last switched off, with
active output if it was active prior to
mains failure
– Recall a device configuration from setup memory
Set Output Voltage and Output Current
Output voltage and output current can also be adjusted using the
rotary encoders or the numeric keypad if desired. The rotary
encoders are used exclusively for adjusting voltage and current.
The decimal place to be changed is selected with the scroll keys.
Additional functions and parameters can be accessed and
adjusted with the keys.
Switching the Input On and Off
The power output can be switched on and off by pressing the
appropriate key, with a computer command or by applying a
signal to the trigger input. When switched off, the output is highly
resistive and is not electrically isolated from the power consumer.
The LED on the key indicates status.
Protection and Additional Functions
A multitude of protection and additional functions have been
integrated, for example:
• Limiting of the setting ranges for voltage and current
• Overvoltage protection (OVP) with adjustable response delay
and reaction
• Overcurrent protection (OCP) with adjustable response delay
and reaction
• Protection in the event of reversed polarity at the sensing leads
• Automatic switching to auto-sensing
• Protection against excessive temperature
• Output protected against reverse polarity
• Front panel control disabling
• Backup battery for device settings memory
• Mains failure detection
• Inrush current limiting
• Line voltage monitoring
Line Voltage Monitoring
To protect the device, power output is deactivated and disabled
in the event of voltage dips or short-term interruptions. The device
must be restarted with „Power ON“.
Dynamic Sink
A dynamic sink is activated by the control loops as required for
rapid discharging of the output capacitors.
This allows for short response times when switching to smaller
setpoint values. Depending upon the application, the sink
function can also be disabled.
Auto-Sensing
The device can be switched to sensing mode operation (remote
sensing) in order to compensate for voltage drop at the output
leads. Sensing lead terminals are available to this end at the
analog interface. If the (–) negative sensing terminal is connected
to the negative load point, the device is automatically switched to
sensing mode operation. Maximum compensatable voltage drop
is 1 V per output lead.
Front Panel Control Disabling
The controls can be disabled to prevent unauthorized operation
by pressing the appropriate key, with a computer command or by
applying a signal to the trigger input.
Analog Control Inputs
Voltage and current can also be adjusted by via the control inputs
at the analog interface. A 5 V signal corresponds to 100% of the
respective nominal value.
These inputs can be switched on and off using the keys, or with
computer commands.
The controlled output quantity is the sum of the digital setpoint
value and the specified value at the control input.
This function makes it possible to superimpose these control
signals onto the output quantities.
Monitor Outputs
The actual values for output voltage and current can be
acquired at the monitor outputs as a standardized signal (10 V
corresponds to 100% nominal value).
Trigger Inputs
Two floating trigger inputs are available for controlling device
functions. The following trigger input assignments can be
selected:
– output = Switch the power output on and off
– local lock = Disable controls
– SQS = (sequence step) Step-by-step control of a
stored sequence
– sequence = Start / stop the sequence function
– Analog input = Activate / deactivate the analog control inputs
Signal Outputs
Programmable Control Outputs
The analog interface is equipped with three digital control outputs
for status messages to external monitoring devices, for switching
external components on and off, or for coupling purposes.
The status of these outputs can be defined either directly, or
depending upon the following device statuses:
– Output on or off
– Voltage or current regulation
– Sequence function running or finished
– SSET signal status for the sequence function
– Limit value message for the measuring function (tolerance band)
Min-Max Measured Value Memory
The Min-Max function automatically acquires and saves minimum
and maximum voltage and current values.
Tolerance Band (in combination with Min-Max function)
Measured output values can be continuously compared with
stored upper and lower tolerance band values. Evaluation is
possible via the programmable control outputs.
GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH 11
Memory
The memory function makes it possible to save and recall device
configurations using a battery-backed memory module.
The memory module is equipped with two storage areas:
– Setup memory: 12/15 memory locations for complete
configurations
– Sequence memory: 1536/1700 memory locations for the fol-
lowing sequence parameters: voltage setpoint USET, current
setpoint ISET, dwell time TSET and function request FSET,
with the ability to invoke subsequences
Sample Application
Generation of a characteristic voltage curve in an automotive electrical system when starting the engine
Note:
The drop times can be influenced by the input impedance of the
DUT.
Balancing Function (adjust)
Offset and final values for setting and measured values for output
quantities voltage and current are balanced digitally in the device.
The user can execute balancing as required with this function.

Power Output
Terminals for connecting the power consumer.
This is a floating output and can be grounded
with the positive or the negative pole.
Output connections may only be connected
and disconnected when the output is
inactive (OUTPUT OFF)! Danger of arcing!
Connecting the Power Consumer
The output leads are connected to the terminal
blocks by means of ring-type cable lugs with the
included M6 x 10 screws. Measurement cables
can be additionally connected to the 4 mm holes.
Remove the safety cap.
Connect the output leads to the terminal
blocks with the provided screws and washers.
An adequate wire cross-section and correct
polarity must be assured. It is advisable to
twist the output leads and to identify polarity at
both ends.
Avoid exerting excessive force at the terminals.
Align the leads to the openings in the safety
cap.
Snap the safety cap back into place.
In order to prevent danger during use,
shock-proof connector cables must be used
when connecting power consumers.
